I know we’ve talked before about the changes to Amazon’s Subscribe & Save program, and now you have to have 5+ S&S items in a month to save 15% or 20% on everything. Generally speaking, I have no difficulty hitting that 5 item mark each month, because we still don’t have a Costco. (Also, I’m still bitter that we don’t have a Costco.) But every now and then, I have enough laundry detergent and dishwasher pellets and protein bars or whatever, and I find myself looking for a cheap way to get my total up for that additional savings.

Enter… Magic Erasers. I always need more Magic Erasers. Right now this 4-pack is just $2.99, and when you buy it via Subscribe & Save it’s not only cheaper than that (just $2.39 for me, because I have Mom Prime), it’s an easy way to up your total number of S&S items for the month. Here’s another secret, too: Want two boxes? Do them as two separate subscriptions, and you’re 40% of the way to having your 5 items for the month.

Warning: New boxes of Magic Erasers may cause you to circle the house, randomly scrubbing at walls and muttering about how grimy your children are. Or maybe that’s just me.

when we moved from Ga. we were excited that Louisville had Costco & Sams. We got member ships to both. Costco just doesn’t do “it” for us. They close early on Saturdays,they cost more on MOST things, vs. Sam’s. Have fewer selections. Baked goods suck. I don’t think you’re missing out on much. We’re debating renewing this year.
